Manage your folders

All SureDesign content (designs, probes, and probegroups) is organized into folders. Each workgroup has its own top-level folder, which can contain a hierarchical arrangement of subfolders. Any SureDesign user in the workgroup can set up additional folders within the top-level folder.

Collaborations also have their own top-level folder, where the program stores the content for the collaboration. Members of a collaboration can set up folders within the top-level collaboration folder.

The Manage Folders dialog box displays all the folders to which you have access. You can find the folders within your workgroup on the My Designs tab, and folders that contain collaboration content on the Collaborations tab. Use the tools in this dialog box to add new folders, or to delete or rename existing folders.

To open the Manage Folders dialog box: Click Find Designs > SureSelect DNA or Find Designs > HaloPlex. Select the My Designs or Collaborations tab. On the left side of the screen, click Manage > Folders.
